You have no idea how timely this post was..I shot a deer last Sat. I had a hard time cutting it up at 11:00 PM...} -; ....my wife was then washing the meat cuts in salt water..the meat went from red to brownish color..is this normal..she had it in the sink from 15 - 45 minutes..since it turned brownish I was worried she messed up my meat.

looks like from the replies my meat will be ok..
